Thought to add more plants, but there a very few places left. And I am using a ceramic diffuser for CO2.

My plecos are 3.5 inch long. what happened is I just bought them from lfs and couldnt understand the size, when introduced inmy 2 feeter, I got the problem. but now it is very problematic to remove them, So...hope for the best. Thanks for liking the tank.
